U.S. Marshals' Dilemma: Serving Two

Branches Of Government


Since 1969 U.S. marshals have been respon-
sible for performing two fundamental mis-
sions--one under the control of the Depart-
ment of Justice, an executive branch agency,
and the other under the control of the judicial
branch. The manner in which the existing orga-
nizational relationship has been implemented

   --prevents the U.S. Marshals Service from
   effectively managing law enforcement
   programs assigned by the Attorney Gen-
   eral, and

   --interferes with the marshals' perform-
   ance of essential duties for the Federal
   courts which hinders the judicial process.

This report contains recommendations that
provide the Department of Justice and the
judiciary an opportunity to administratively
resolve the problems caused by the existing
relationship. It also recommends that the
Congress eliminate the dual authority struc-
ture if the two agencies cannot administra-
tively resolve the dilemma faced by U.S.
marshals.
